But there is help already today, you can install the SuSE kernels of the day, which are now 2.6.8.x and they run fine, I do not have problems.
Which reminds me, the last time I tried compiling 2.6.8.1 with x86-64.org patches applied, I was unable to get 32bit apps(tried firefox, OOo, and a couple of games like ET) to connect to the X server without "xhost +"!!
I used vanilla kernels to complie, and no problem. recent SuSE kernels I did not compile (yet), because the kotd I grabbed is working fine for me.
I don't think I can use vanilla kernels yet, I need agpgart support(nforce3).
I don't have an exact error message(rolled back to 2.6.7, frustrated me to no end until I realized that I've changed nothing more since the last reboot than the kernel, not even the nvidia driver), it was something with "connection refused" and "xlib: no protocol specified" :)
for your games, that may be it: "not even the nvidia driver". A new kernel usually means you need also to reinstall the nvidia driver. It is a kernel module, so it is kernel specific.
Like I said, I've changed NOTHING in the setup except the kernel+its modules, and even that was with almost exactly the same config as 2.6.7. I've reinstalled the nvidia driver, and I had 3D working in 64bit games(e.g. tuxracer, armagetron), and in 32bit apps as well, if I did "xhost +" before starting them. Besides, it wasn't only games. I guess now I'll have to reboot(again, it seems they've decided to shut off electricity every day at 5 am for a few minutes) and get the exact error message now...
